The train and bus wreck from the 1993 movie The Fugitive were left in place after the scene was finished

The train wreck scene was shot in one take, lasted 60 seconds, took a crew of 100 two months to prepare and cost $1.5 million to shoot.

Perhaps to keep the high costs in check, the Warner Bros. studio left the wreckage as is and didn’t remove the locomotives or the bus. Today, the crash site is a popular tourist attraction in the western North Carolina town of Dillsboro. The trains still have “Illinois Southern” written on their sides, while “Illinois Dept. of Corrections” is still emblazoned on the side of the bus. Visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad can see the Hollywood train wreck on the Tuckasegee River Excursion, a four-hour, 32-mile trip from Bryson City to Dillsboro and back.
